Is this real? I mean is this the road Tehran really wants to go down?‌

It will only scare of foreign financial institutions from banking clients with crypto activity for‍ fear of violating US sanctions. It may lead ultimately to very harsh due diligence around⁠ crypto money entering and exiting the banking system to ensure no connection with Iran sanctioned⁤ entities and activities.

Ultimately if this is real it could be a game changer for⁣ Iran. It could reduce some of the financial pressure sanctions has had on their economy.⁢
 
I believe they have no choice, no doubt they︀ will set the bench mark on how to use crypto. No better test case than︁ Iran for real implementation of crypto.
 
Wait, you want to tell me that the only use cases for Bitcoin is money‌ laundering, bypassing currency controls and speculation? No way...
 
I think then the Iranians are just winding up the US government or forcing them‌ to move their hand. I personally wouldn't want to end up with BTC that passed‍ through the wallets of the Iranian government. Neither would I want to operate an exchange⁠ or bank receiving such fiat from such a transaction 😳. You would be extradited and⁤ sat in a US jail cell before your feet touched the ground.
 
Probably if they cannot use bitcoin anymore they will start trading with⁢ opium lol
 
Come on, everybody knows that BTC is passe, the real store of value is Dogecoin‍
